I'm wondering if the Fixes tag should rather refer to abb2bafd295f
("x86/quirks: Add early quirk to reset Apple AirPort card"),
or whether it's necessary at all given the relatively small number
of affected machines.
This will slightly lengthen boot time as all 8 functions of
multifunction devices are probed, but that is mitigated by the
existing check for an "all ones" response to the config space read
of PCI_CLASS_DEVICE: The remainder of check_dev_quirk() is skipped
for non-responsive Functions.
Thanks,
Lukas
